Dell RecoverPoint vs Dell SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility ) [EOL] comparison

"The solution is now Flash-based, which is better. they moved away from Java."

"I would rate its stability almost a nine out of ten."

"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."

"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."

"When it works, it is the best product that is available."

"The product does block-level replication very well."

"It has improved RTO and RPO."

"We use RecoverPoint for disaster recovery and asynchronous replication, and we use the application at a block level, not the software level. This has been tested, and it's very durable."

"We've found the support to be very good overall."

"The feature of taking snapshots from the replicated volumes has allowed us to use them for DR testing to validate the application consistent point of recovery."

"The solution normally supports only specific types and amounts of storage. If it could be increased to support much larger amounts or a wider range, it could fetch a bigger market."

"The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."

"The support is horrible."

"RecoverPoint's WAN optimization could be improved."

"Integration with VMware is the only thing we need to improve. Another feature I'd like to see is the ability to convert management to HTML. And the integration should also be done on the same level."

"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."

"The product should provide integration with new products."

"In the future, I would like Dell RecoverPoint to evolve as an orchestration tool that can integrate with other replication tools such as Microsoft native replication and Oracle Data Guard."

"The main pain point that we experienced is during device creation. For every newly provisioned volume, creating replication relationships between production and DR site, creating snapshots for third copy at DR site, and configuring them in appropriate replication groups and device groups means that there are lot of steps involved and a lot of room for error. There has to be a lot of checks and balances which need to be incorporated to make sure that the solution is set up correctly."

"If you are new to the product, the initial setup might be a bit difficult."

"The product is fairly priced."

"RecoverPoint came free as an add-on to the PowerProtect Data Manager backup software from Dell EMC."

"The price is moderate."

"It is considered quite costly."

"Support is an additional subscription."

"While I recommend Dell EMC, it depends on your specific use case. Licensing is perpetual, meaning you buy it once."
